Owner reviews
Mila, the owner of a British cat:
"With the arrival of autumn, my British Shorthair started shedding terribly. I was really worried he'd swallow hair. This could cause intestinal blockage, so I went to the clinic. The vet prescribed 8-in-1 vitamins. Excel Brewer's "Yeast. After just two weeks, my coat was practically restored, smooth and beautiful again. The product isn't cheap, but one package lasted us three treatments."
Tatiana, owner of a Persian cat:
"After experiencing stress, my cat began rapidly losing his hair. We had to take emergency measures and go to the pharmacy. We bought Polydex Super Wool, a good vitamin supplement. His fur started growing back quite quickly, and our cat turned into his former fluffy beauty."
Veterinarian Reviews
Mikhail, a veterinarian with 13 years of experience:
"With a balanced diet, animals generally don't need vitamins, but there are exceptions. For severe hair loss, I usually recommend 8-in-1 Excel. Complexes from Polidex have also proven effective. Among domestic products, you can choose Radostin or Farmavit. They are several times cheaper than imported alternatives, although they are just as effective."
Antonina, a veterinarian with 6 years of experience:
“For severe shedding, the best option is brewer's yeast “8 in 1” "Excel." True, they're expensive. There are more affordable domestic supplements. Incidentally, some of them are just as effective in helping with hair loss, such as Farmavit Neo. These vitamin complexes are available in several varieties and are also reasonably priced."
